Popular Carl Jacobi Quotes

The real end of science is the honor of the human mind.

It is true that Fourier had the opinion that the principal aim of mathematics was public utility and explanation of natural phenomena; but a philosopher like him should have known that the sole end of science is the honor of the human mind, and that under this title a question about numbers is worth as much as a question about the system of the world.

It is often more convenient to possess the ashes of great men than to possess the men themselves during their lifetime. [Commenting on the return of Descartes' remains to France]
